International Free Agents

[Krylian]

Started on January 15th, but with the Jays waiting on Roki no announcements have been made.  I'm guessing Blanco, and the others, will start getting announced (plus whoever they splurge on with the extra $2m in space).

Is anyone even left to spend the extra 2 mil on

I'm sure the top studs are gone

The Dodgers were trying to get their guys to hold off until the next signing period, but it seems like at least their top 3 have already signed with other clubs.

Even the 16 year olds were smarter than our front office about our chances.

If the Dodgers top three have signed with other clubs... are those other clubs not signing certain choice prospects? Must be some trickle down

So I’ve read that there could be surprise entries to the Intl FA Pool. Who could that possibly be? Is there an example of a guy like that who ended up being good?

Polanco was the Dodgers' big intl signing this period, right?

No, he was always a Jays sign.

I am trying to find a list from a few months ago to see if any of the top 50 were rumoured for the Dodgers but can't really find what I am looking for 

[Spanky__99]

I'd already made this thread Thursday in the proper subforum...

I can’t find all the signing bonuses numbers but the Jays ended up signing 22 players. $5.1 million was spent on their top 4 of Polanco, Sanchez, Coronado and Blanco.

I didn’t hear if Coronado was linked to them prior to the ifa signing period opening. I guess they signed a bunch of players in the 10000$-100000$ range to use some of the added ifa cap.
